TNT has decided not to renew their Proof TV show for a second season. The life-after-death drama has been cancelled after one short season of 10 episodes.
On Proof, Doctor Carolyn “Cat” Tyler (Jennifer Beals) lost her son, saw her marriage end, and became estranged to her teenage daughter. Looking for purpose, Cat is persuaded by cancer-stricken billionaire Ivan Turing (Matthew Modine) to search for evidence that death is not the end and this takes her on a deeply personal and emotional journey. The rest of the cast includes David Sutcliffe, Joe Morton, Edi Gathegi, Caroline Rose Kaplan, Callum Blue, and Annie Thurman.
Debuting in June, Proof got off to a slow start with a 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.66 million viewers. The numbers didn’t get better as the weeks progressed and were often worse. The season ended up averaging a 0.31 in the demo with 2.12 million viewers. It was one of the lowest-rated scripted shows on the cable channel.
What do you think? Did you like the Proof TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled? Would you have watched a second season?
Idgets!!!
Can only reiterate all the comments made by other contributors; very disappointed with TNT as we thought this was a brilliant series and so sad to learn it was a 1 season only production. This show had serious potential to a much wider global and perhaps the issue was the marketing of the show. Disappointed UK viewers.
I am very sad to read the shaw was not renewed for a second season. It was one of my favorite shows on TV. Maybe another channel will pick it up.
idiots
What I don’t get is that tv stations don’t really give some shows a chance. Why would you give us 10 episodes and then say not enough people are watching? Why not try a second season, and cancel the show if the ratings don’t improve? If you do decide to cancel after that please exit right stop leaving the fans with a lot of open question…
I have been waiting for it to return, just to find out it was cancelled.. The sad fact is that most of the returning shows, are reality shows.. bored and overwhelmed with the same thing from each network. I had my hopes up to just to find out TNT was no different after all. 🙁
That’s about right,everytime they cancel,it’s always going to be a great show like Proof.Really need to bring that one back
I can’t believe it’s not being renewed! I looked forward to watching season 2. Dumb move TNT!!!
One of the few shows I truly loved! Please bring it back!
I really liked this show. The best shows always get cancelled.
yes yes, please bring Proof back. Please please do a season 2.
Many movies and tv shows are often picked up by Netflix as in the case of the movie The Little Prince. It would be fantastic if Netflix picked up Proof and another favorite of mine, “Forever”, a most interesting, entertaining show, like very few out there. Now TNT has cancelled Rizzoli and Isles. Why? Only they know. Yet another good show on the chopping block. But hang on for reality garbage…ooops, show.
I think this show was really well written. TNT has no one to blame but bad marketing. This is a good show and has at least a few good seasons left to write . Bring it back.
Friends and I used to get together aty place to watch this every week. We were so excited about a second season. Many people often gathered to watch this this as a group.
Canceling this was a bad idea and a disappointment to your viewing base.
Why are you canceling one of the best and brightest shows on your network? Please bring Proof back as many people truly enjoyed this show.
Thank you,
